Check it out for yourself: The Douglass video tries to convince kids that the Founders were the ones who *stopped* slavery. And that Douglass would have hated BLM.

Oof. 11 thoroughbreds have died this summer at Saratoga Race Course, the crown jewel of east coasting racing. That's more than double last year's total, and we're only partway through the season.
In all, 200 horses have died at Saratoga since 2009.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

It's not a machine gun it's something just as stupid...a sniper overwatch position on a random Monday in MacArthur Park because...idk...they have shoot on sight orders for that motherfucker who left the cake out in the rain.
Even if you assume the legitimacy of ICE operations, the idea that a fucking truck-mounted machine gun is necessary to carry them out is insane.
This is about intimidation. This is them letting us know that the streets of the United States have been militarized.

Federal immigration officers, some on horseback and in armored vehicles, descended on MacArthur Park in Los Angeles this morning as part of what ICE called a “large–scale federal immigration enforcement operation” in a statement to CBS News. ICE also said that CBP led the operation.
